Mother Nature tried her best to cancel poker night… But Pete L said no way!
This month was Turbo Night, which meant faster blind levels, shorter stacks, and zero time for Rick to “wait for aces.” A full-blown South Jersey blizzard rolled in and Roads were messy, driveways were buried, and shovels got more action than chip stacks. As a result we had one of the biggest substitute lineups we’ve ever seen. Shout out to Butters for Shoveling the driveway!!!
The Sub Squad Steps Up
Because of the storm we rolled deep with alternates:
-
Chuck subbing for Roger
-
Donnie subbing for Samero
-
Otto subbing for Butters
-
Vinny subbing for Keane
-
Johnny subbing for Foster
And honestly… the subs didn’t just survive , they almost stole the entire night.
Nearly all of them made the final table. Chuck and Donnie in particular came through huge, earning Roger and Samero some desperately needed league points.
The Walking Dead (Literally)
Shinn showed up looking like he had just finished a 72-hour survival challenge. He powered through the game anyway a true grinder move.
Meanwhile Neamand was a no-call/no-show… which immediately triggered concern. Thankfully he wasn’t frozen in a snowbank. I ran into him at the gym the next day and he said after shoveling the blizzard he sat down for a minute… and fell asleep for the entire night. Honestly, very unbelievable.
The Results
-
Hoagie navigated the madness and took down 1st place
-
Matt L hit the Lottery Bonus
